Municipal and Regional District Tax

To Receive Updates

The Municipal and Regional District Tax (MRDT) is a tax of up to 2% that registered operators of hotels, motels and other lodgings in certain areas of the province may be required to charge on the purchase price of taxable accommodation. The MRDT is intended to assist municipalities, regional districts and other eligible entities in promoting their tourism industry and financing new tourist facilities or programs.

Although the 8% component of the Hotel Room Tax has been discontinued, the MRDT is continuing; therefore, the processes for registering, remitting and applying for refunds etc. remain the same.

If you are an accommodation provider and you require further information, please see the Hotel Room Tax Forms, Notices and Bulletins link.

If you are a municipality and you require further information, please see Bulletin MRDT 001, Municipal and Regional District Tax.
